Strange issue w/ Synology logins

I've got a synology on the newest firmware, although the problem has persisted for months. It's got ~10 users, 3 are privileged users. It's got custom home folders for every user w/ protected backup, as well as a wide-open storage location as a general file share.

On most of the computers in the office (winXP/win7/win8), users have the wide open folder mapped w/o having to enter any credentials, can browse to it in the network, do as they please.

On at least 2 machines on the network (mine included), my map only persists until reboot, and I must enter creds every time I want in ANY portion of the device. "store details" or whatever doesn't seem to do anything w/ the login box.

I'm assuming it may be because I'm a privileged user and it's trying to figure out what folders to show me? So is the other user who has to repeatedly enter credentials. The thing is though, that if I enter NOTHING I'm allowed no access, but all the other machines don't even get the prompt, they just get access. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I have groups set correctly, I have user perms set correctly, every user has a long unique pass. I've got nothing and can't seem to google up a solution.
 
Ah god I'm an idiot, I answered too fast. Not XP. There are two XP systems on the network and both are dumb terminals.

The machines w/ issues are Win 7 Pro x64. Sorry.
 
Doh...

Hmmm, well, you said you checked the only thing that comes to mind...

When I had an issue similar, it was the workgroup, they were in different ones, put them in same group and all was fine.
 
Thanks, that made me pause but they're all in the same workgroup. I sent a support request to Synology. I suspect it's because I'm a privileged user and it's confirming that identity, but I should at least be able to see the wide open share w/o credentials.
